Tribalism in the churchI am not given to dabbling into modus operandi of the church, neither am I anti-Christ. I believe in the propagation of the gospel. I am neither an ethnic jingoist nor hater of Yoruba tribe. But, I detest insufferable hypocrisy whenever I see such.
As I was going through Guardian newspapers today, I stumbled on this advertorial by The Redeemed Church. While I was reading it, instinctively, my eyes ran through the names of pastors in charge of the 30 regions, as listed in the advent. Curiously, I noticed that one tribe dominated it. By then, I developed keen interest in the names published.
I was flabbergasted that 90% of the regions mentioned, are being headed
by the Yorubas. This is a church that has Ndigbo as over 40% of its
population. I have thought-provoking questions raging in my mind: is
pastoral anointing exclusively reserved for the Yorubas? Are my Igbo
brothers who pay tithes and give offerings not "anointed" enough to head
regions in Redeemed Church?
I can not write against Buhari's nepotistic cum lopsided appointments, and I close my eyes to this abnormally, simply because the church is involved. We can not criticize ills in the society, and turn a blind eye to the same thing in the church. Before you come with the "touch not my anointed" song, I am only stating the obvious.
